Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup is very straightforward. Deployment typically takes about one hour. You just need one person to handle the deployment process."
"I can increase the tool's licensing as per my requirement with no conditions applied."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the compression and the duplication."
"This is a stable solution."
"The deduplication is probably the most valuable feature of that requirement."
"It has a lot of stock reports. I believe over 300 canned reports, which for the most part meet a lot of generic needs."
"It generates very detailed reports, which makes things easier when it comes to IT auditing."
"The solution is easy to use, flexible and has a lot of out-of-the-box functionality. You can configure the dashboards or you can use a script. However, to fully utilize its capabilities you will want to use a lot of scripts which you will need advanced training. The reports can be customized for many things, such as chargeback billing."
"Once you get it set up, everything is smooth, and the recovery is excellent."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup & Replication is that we can back up in-house and multiple cloud providers' storage."
"It's fairly easy to manage and set up."
"Initially setting up the product is easy."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is a scalable solution."
"There are many valuable features, for example how Copy Job is controlling the band with accelerators. The Enterprise Manager is a valuable feature. There are many very useful features. We can push in the market, because we have an advantage over the other solutions."
"Its performance is fine. It supports us very well. It is able to support our policy for RTO, RPO, and other things that we need."
"The solution is a user-friendly interface."
"Dell Data Protection Advisor's feature for data domain protection needs enhancement."
"The stability of the solution needs improvement for stand alone users."
"Customization of reports or creating new reports can be difficult. Users need to have a deep knowledge of SQL. 70-80% of customers can't seem to understand how to do it. They don't know how to address reporting. If Dell EMC could simplify it, it would benefit the end-user."
"There is a steep learning curve to use the interface and to create new reports, this could be made easier. If the solution could provide more drag and drop functionality to build more advanced reports that would be very helpful."
"They should empower their customers with the ability to upgrade this solution as long as it's in the same major release."
"The solution requires more integration with our other solutions. I know that they have full integration with VMware because it is also from EMC. However, we have to have better integration with Microsoft and Nutanix as well."
"It is difficult to manage the solution with the available tools. You need to know exactly what are you are doing."
"We have encountered issues where we were unable to pull data from the database server. It should also improve the backward compatibility."
"Add an archive option to support legal obligations."
"I think Veeam needs to improve the file installation process, as well as more technical things like snapping feature issues. Sometimes during backup, when it's taking the scan snaps on the ESXi, it started and didn't remove the snapshot from there, which consumed storage on the EXSi. It could be improved with more technical depth. The response time for Veeam's technical support could also be improved."
"I would like to see the Veeam cloud solution and Microsoft Office 365 included all in one platform."
"It would be ideal if they could capture everything and then timestamp and back up everything up to that timestamp."
"The cloud part of it can be improved. There should be an option for Veeam in your own cloud, as compared to the Veeam cloud offering that's currently there. The rest of it is easy."
"Although the solution offers documentation, it has it only in English, which doesn't help us much in Belarus."
"There is a lot of room for improvement, but the primary issue we have is that it's not built for the cloud."
"Veeam is good up until 300 VMs."
